Day 392, November 27, 2023

Practiced for 15 minutes after lessons today. Right nowΒ I have a small tendency to go toward the ball a little bit on the downswing (I had to a little), but literally just recognizing that I'm catching them in the heel a bit and I can resolve that.

Still backswing work almost exclusively. Right wrist curl, up and out. Feel.

Day 3: 11/29/2023:

Went to the outdoor range today and really enjoyed it. Even though it's very cold outside the heaters they have in each bay makes it quite tolerable.Β 

Worked on my priority piece for while with the 6 iron, the 9 iron, the driver and finally with the 3 wood. I "feel" like my swing is in a really good place. I need to get some film on it soon.Β 

After that, I "played" my tournament course on the range. Basically setting targets, putting imaginary boundaries, even making places on the range represent hazards.Β

Did you go to the Westerville one? Or is there another one in the area that has heated stalls?
